This seems to happen every time Rolex sticks a little toe an inch outside of their conservative little box (remember the first day the D-Blue was introduced, or the Platona?). We all cry out in dismay, and then a year later they become beloved models. We're a silly lot.

But I digress... That's a crazy price!

Dave, I couldn't agree more.

You have two, am I right? You made the right choice.

Too much IMO but this is Japan heh. Tom visit San Diego and look me up and I'll take you out for Mexican....after a couple times in Japan I don't dare to try Mexican here again lol. Rather enjoy all the nihon ryori/shokuji I am now while I'm here.

Would a tourist or a local buy in at that price?

Yes Flavio. One I wear an M ( pre-owned ) that I bought from that identical Quark. Had it serviced at the RSC last year and even had them put a new bezel on. The one on it was scratched. In the rotation.

A NOS V that I stumbled upon in Osaka about 4 1/2 years ago that I paid less than a third of the price of the for sale one in my first post. Goes to show that some Rolex can be investments.

Course a V is not a Random.

Well Japanese love their Rolex. So could be a local. A lot of money flowing in here from other Asian countries right now though.

Back in 2008, I decided to buy ordinary 16610 for around 5000 USD rather than Kermit for around 6000 USD, I regret that decision....

[Sublovin]

Silly money. If You had one to sell, that must be the place to do it

[Gaijin]

Sold. That didn't last long.
